    I had a reservation at 9:30 PM, but they made me wait at the bar for an hour, and I was hungry. After that, everything was fine.

    Zuma never disappoints. We always take recommendations from the waiter so get to enjoy something new every time. The Wagyu short ribs were probably the best thing we ate!
